The potential and constraints of replacing conventional chemical coagulants with natural plant extracts in water and wastewater treatment

Coagulation is a vital stage in treating contaminated water using coagulants that can be either synthetic or natural. Currently, water is being treated by water treatment plants that use aluminum- or iron-based salts and synthetic polymers for coagulation. However, these synthetic coagulants have fl...
